Ships, Sailing, Maritime / lifeguard equipment
Italian term or phrase: moscone
Mosconi, the typical red oar-powered "boats" used by the lifeguards seen on Italian beaches.
The only translations I've found are along the lines of "Pedalo with oars", but a pedolo is pedal- driven

Explanation:
you could also leave Moscone untranslated, since it is so typical . I also thought of "twin hull oar powered pedalo" - but it is a very long description.
